Advice columnist E. Jean Carroll took the stand Wednesday to candidly recall one day three decades ago in a Manhattan department store dressing room where, as she told the court, Donald Trump raped me.

Carroll is suing the former president for battery under a New York law allowing adults who allege sexual abuse a one-time opportunity to sue, even if relevant statutes of limitations have expired.

Trump denies having raped her, claiming at various points that her story is a hoax or a scam and that he did not find Carroll attractive.
